Unscripted Turbulence with Raegan Medgie

The most courageous thing you can do is reinvent yourself. This is where those stories live. After 20 years, Emmy Awards, and a career built on talent and grit, Raegan Medgie realized the industry wasn't going to elevate her - so she elevated herself. What came next was Unscripted Turbulence - a podcast about reinvention, resilience, and the moments that force us to rethink who we are and what we truly want. Through raw conversations and real storytelling, Raegan explores the full arc of change: the before, the during, the rebuilding, and what life looks like on the other side. Career pivots. Identity shifts. Loss. Faith. Health. Love. The moments nobody sees coming - and the courage it takes to keep going anyway. No shortcuts. No sanitized endings. Just real people who faced their turbulence and found something worth sharing on the other side. Because the most courageous stories aren't the ones tha

  She Was the Face of Court TV - Then She Got Let Go | Beth Karas

  Aug 18, 202659 min

  Would love to hear your thoughts! Beth Karas started out as a lawyer in the 80s, then in the early 90s got "discovered" while working a case and became the face of Court TV for the next three decades. If you've ever followed a high-profile crime trial, chances are Beth was the lead reporter covering it. She's now a legal analyst across true crime TV, most notably Investigation Discovery, and she genuinely laid the groundwork for the genre as we know it today. In this episode, Beth shares a story that left me speechless. But we go deeper than the headlines. We talk about what happened when she got let go from Court TV, that moment when your whole world stops and you're left wondering "now what do I do?" It's something a lot of us in this industry live through. Me included. Beth and I met at a mutual friend's birthday party, and one conversation about the state of journalism sparked the need to sit down and go deeper. We are both VERY passionate about it. This one is about reinvention, rediscovering who you are, and staying true to the work and the responsibility that comes with it.

  How a Stranger in an Elevator Saved My First Episode

  Aug 11, 20261h 1m

  Would love to hear your thoughts! A year ago, I walked out of my very first recording at Gotham Production Studios in Manhattan completely defeated. I stumbled. I stuttered. I had to start over more times than I want to admit. Telling my own story, the one about leaving TV news, was harder than I ever expected. Then I got on the elevator, and Dana Brewington turned to me and asked, "How'd it go?" That question cracked something open. We became friends that day. She was my Angel in the Elevator and I still call her "Godwink Dana" to this day. Dana was my very first guest on Unscripted Turbulence, and now she's back to kick off Year Two. She was in news too, a former producer for Gayle King at CBS, before she left and built her own podcast, Minds of Renewal, centered on her relationship with God. I call it a God Pod. In this episode, Dana flips the script and interviews me. We talk religion, spirituality, and the power of prayer, including a recent story that's still giving me chills. We check in on how far we've both come in a year. This one is for anyone who's felt a little lost and needs some light.

  One Year of Unscripted Turbulence: Inside Our Pod-iversary Celebration

  Aug 4, 20261h 21m

  Would love to hear your thoughts! Have you ever thrown a party just to say thank you? Unscripted Turbulence turned ONE on August 1 - one year to the day it launched - and I couldn't let it pass without celebrating with the people who made it happen. So I hosted a livestream birthday party, my first ever Pod-iversary, and invited all of you: family and friends since birth, college pals from my Broadcast Journalism days, former colleagues (and bosses!), and podcast friends along the way. You showed up. We raised a glass. I also introduced my August sponsor, Kastra Elion Vodka, the first premium vodka ever produced in Greece. A fan since 2024, I finally met the team in person this year, over martinis. Egharisto, truly. This episode pulls the best moments from the Pod-iversary livestream on Saturday, August 1. Missed it live? Stick around, the full recording is at the end. Thank you for one year of Unscripted Turbulence. We are just getting started. Curious about the vodka that started it all?

  Burn the Ships: The Real Cost of Building Unscripted Turbulence

  Jul 21, 202644 min

  Would love to hear your thoughts! "How's the pod?" That question came up at a recent farewell party for a former colleague - and it cracked something open. So it's time to pull back the curtain on the part I've avoided talking about the most: MONEY. How much I paid in startup fees. Whose money it was. The trigger that catches me off guard. And a response to a comment that got wedged under my skin about how I'm able to do what I'm doing financially. It's uncomfortable. It's honest. And by the end, it's EMPOWERING. I'm also revisiting two earlier conversations that still speak to me today: Lynn Mull, who left Wall Street to reinvent as a Holistic Career Coach and talks about financing your dream, and Sean Turi of Turi Productions - my headshot photographer, who captured the look of this podcast's cover - who taught me what it means to burn the ships and never look back. If you've ever wondered what it actually costs - financially, emotionally - to walk away and build something of your own, this one's for you. For more financial advice from Lynn: Click here.
